#Vegan #Beer-Battered #Cauliflower #Wings Because sometimes, in the midst of life's frustrations,  you gotta throw caution to the wind, say "screw it!" and #batter-fry something. 😉  I don't eat fried food very often but this is a simple, delicious re… bit.ly/2Z9YOgn

#GreatBlueHerons nesting in a dead tree across the #pond from our house. We see the parents fly back and forth regularly and assume there are #nestlings but no one has gotten a proper glimpse of them yet. Wish I had a better telephoto to capture their be… bit.ly/2KB5Gzy

This #MountainLaurel bush isn't as big as the house, it only seems like it. In gorgeous full bloom about one week of the year. #Garden #Gardener #Shrubbery #Flowers #FloweringTree #Heirloom #Blossoms #Spring #Ephemeral #Beauty #Chimney #Home #AlmostSumme… bit.ly/2Wvz1O6

#VeganPizza with #Strawberries, #Mango, #FreshHerbs (including #Dill, #Basil and #Parsley from my #garden), #BellPepper,  #Scallions and #NondairyCheese. This was another of those recipes I tried on a dare and actually ended up really liking. It's not as… bit.ly/2WGuHjZ

"If you want to live and thrive, let the spider run alive" --Kentish Proverb This fellow turned up unexpectedly as I was emptying out a bag of #cilantro, #dill and #basil harvested from my #garden the other day. Somehow he'd snuck in undetected amongst … bit.ly/2IKAlaT

#GerberaDaisies All three of my #daisies which wintered indoors survived the aphid infestation we all suffered through this past spring and are now thriving outdoors along with all the survivors from the squash and okra seedlings (I also direct sowed ext… bit.ly/2N0ouuG

#Vegan #Wraps with #Corn, #SugarSnapPeas, #FreshHerbs, #Tempeh, #Tomato, #Olives, #onion, #CabbagePesto, #Zucchini and #Miso. Another recipe improvised out of desperation from assorted odds and ends I had to make use of. 😅 In this case we had a freez… bit.ly/2FsPehe

#BabyHerons #Heron #Nest Update: Apologies up front for the poor quality of these; I don't have a great telephoto, this next is across the pond from my vantage point, the babies are constantly in motion, and most active at dusk and dawn. But they're sti… bit.ly/2ZLIClI

#PoolBallSquash, aka #EightBallZucchini My squash have recovered nicely from the spring's aphid issues, though the 90 degree days require constant watering, and lately a persistent group of deer have been turning my garden into their personal salad bar, … ift.tt/2RObjvS

#Vegan #Pesto #Pasta dish with my homemade #cilantro pesto, #sugarsnappeas, #herbs, #squashblossoms and #eggplant from my garden, #scallions, #kale, #garlicscapes and a vegan "caviar" made from #amaranth and #seaweed. This was loosely based on as recent … ift.tt/2xnLMjw

#Heron #Nest Update I've finally managed to confirm there are four adolescent herons in that increasingly crowded nest... The parents are a less consistent presence as they're constantly out rummaging up food for their growing brood. The young ones alwa… ift.tt/2L6Yvjs

#HappyBirthday to my beautiful feline companion #Glenda, who turned 7 on July 15. She spent the day lounging around, relaxing, chowing down and showing her buddy Harvey who's boss. 😸😼 August 1 will mark the fourth anniversary of theior adoption and I… ift.tt/2GeMiW7

#AwashInSquash After a rough start (aphids followed by unseasonable cold), my #PoolBallSquash plants and #PattypanSquash are finally starting to thrive... in fact some days it's hard to keep up with the volume. So I've become something of an "expert" at … ift.tt/2O7bIuY

#Garden #Veggies Yes, I'm already battling cabbage loopers in my greens (I use organic measures to mixed success) and the chipmunks are getting most of my #tomatoes before they can even ripen (I've tried peppermint oil, garlic and homemade pepper spray t… ift.tt/2JKYHmB

Just checking in here on my old, mostly-dormant account, hope all is well 😄 If you miss me and want a more updated means of keeping in touch, please DM me. I have another Twitter account I update daily and a new blog. I use IG mainly for stories but haven't bailed on it yet

Hello, again, old Twitter account. No, I haven't died, for all my old friends who never found the new Twitter account. I wish I could just merge the two timelines but I dunno if the site will survive that long. 😅Will update on post 2016 Twitter or other social media if asked

If any of my old friends here wish to follow me on Mastodon, here's the link mastodon.nz/@The_Tickle_Fox
